NEW: I led a letter to Republican House leadership opposing a provision in the reconciliation bill that would impose a 10-year moratorium on state and local AI regulation. 50+ state legislators signed on. NY House Republicans cannot support this.

I cannot in good conscience support this proposal. I refuse to bail out the Governor, and I refuse to jeopardize funding for medicaid, disability benefits, universal childcare and more and more in next year’s budget. Our neighbors deserve fresh air and functioning public transit.

New: Source says the legislature is expected vote on a bill as soon as tonight that would commit $1B in state funding for the MTA. Legislature and gov are working towards a deal. Money would come from general fund/bonded out - still unclear.

Last year the NYPD spent $155 million in overtime to enforce $104,000 worth of skipped fares. Last week, Gregory Delpeche was shot as a bystander and pronounced brain dead. Broken windows policing doesn’t work, it endangers whole communities. Enough is enough.

Today marks the beginning of the UN General Assembly & a Gridlock Alert Week, where Midtown Manhattan sees an average vehicle speed of 4 mph. Imagine what the streets would look like if congestion pricing had gone into effect as planned 85 days ago.

The pause on congestion pricing has held up millions of dollars earmarked for ADA-compliant upgrades. Every day this pause continues, New Yorkers are being left behind. We must ensure that every New Yorker has equal access to our public transit system.

The detention of @NYCComptroller for simply asking for a judicial warrant during court watch was unlawful and proof of an oligarchic state where ICE agents are the foot soldiers. The time to fight back is now — all of us. Release Brad now.

This morning we celebrated the Queensboro Bridge pedestrian path officially opening! I’m thrilled to have helped secure another victory for pedestrian safety for our neighbors.

It's irresponsible for the Governor & Mayor Adams to put the health of countless people in our city at risk. Instead of compromising people's health, they should be proposing real solutions for public safety, like investing in our public schools, affordable housing and healthcare

We need to address the impact of data centers on our wallets and the environment. That's why I introduced legislation on this in NY. My bill, S6394A with @AMKelles would create a data center surcharge, require annual reporting, and make them run on 100% renewables.

We cannot allow a decade of federal inaction on AI when lives are at stake. Thank you @RepAOC for defending state-level efforts to regulate AI like my chatbot liabilities bill.

In blatant disregard for the safety and demands of Greenpointers, Mayor Adams has just announced his new plan for McGuinness Blvd. My fellow elected officials and I are committed to ensuring safe streets for all New Yorkers.

A MAJOR WIN! 🎉 I’m proud to have joined several state legislators, advocates, and labor unions to oppose this measure. States must be allowed to pass safe AI regulations that protect our constituents. Let’s keep up the fight.

The moratorium just got taken out of the budget bill in a LANDSLIDE vote. 99 to 1. Incredible. Thank you to the lawmakers, the children's advocates, the artists and creators, the voters, the labor groups, and everyone who spoke out against the harmful AI law moratorium.

We stand with @LosDeliveristas to demand that @NYPDnews ends its harmful new policy that criminalizes cyclists and immigrant delivery workers. We demand: ✅ Safe bike lanes ✅ Labor rights for Deliveristas ✅ App accountability
